Campbell Scott disappeared from a hotel in Nairobi

The body of a murdered Scottish businessman was found in a sack by a Kenyan cattle herder days after he went missing from his hotel.

Campbell Scott, 58, arrived in Nairobi’s affluent Westlands district for a business trip on 15 February. He was last seen the following night with an unidentified man, having been to a nightclub.

The BBC has learned his body was found about 60 miles (96.5km) outside of Nairobi in a forest. His hands and legs had been bound with rope.

Local police have arrested two people – a taxi driver and a waiter from the club – who may have been among the last to see him alive.

Mr Scott, from Dunfermline in Fife, was a senior director at credit scoring firm Fico.

He was attending a conference at the JW Marriott Hotel in Nairobi and was due to meet colleagues to discuss a presentation.

When he did not return to the hotel on 16 February, colleagues tried to call him but could not reach him.

They filed a police report and a search was launched, with Interpol later joining the investigation.

On Saturday police received a report that a cattle herder had seen a body inside a sack, which was later identified as Mr Scott.
